The school is again planning to sponsor a five-program course of entertainment for the winter, with the proceeds devoted to making up the deficit in the community building fund. The program last year was well supported and netted a total of $501. It is hoped that the support of the community will be no less generous this season. Announcement of the complete plans with dates will be given out soon.

Despite our shortcomings the Sentinel staff took time off for a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner yesterday as the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Fritz Angerman, Hellen, Freddie, Leonard and Dickie. Freddie had to grab a leg bone and then go ferry a lot of the gals around town. After all these years we’ve just found out how to cook a turkey — ask Mrs. Angerman (she knows how). The highlight of the evening – next, of course to that great dinner – was the showing of some color pictures taken by Like Reideman, ex-officio member of the Sentinel staff and mighty good photographer.

It is now easier than ever for the Wrangell police to find out if arson is involved in a fire. According to Wrangell Police Chief William Klein, there were two arson fires in Wrangell last year. With the new $400 pump and filter kit, the substance used to start a fire can be determined, Klein said. The air near the source of the fire is pumped through the filter which is sent to the state crime lab in Anchorage.

Got a lot of mud and nowhere to put it? If it's a truckful you can make use of a new city dumpsite earmarked for “unclassified” excavation on the Spur Road near the shooting range. The city, according to Public Works Director Bob Caldwell, has received an U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ permit for dumping muskeg and other material excavated when building a house or road. Caldwell says that when the site is full in a few years, it will become a sledding area. The rear of the site will be slightly graded for young sledders while the front area will have a steeper grade and a protective berm for older sledders and snowboarders.
